<p>
When building transactional applications, it is usually
necessary to build an administrative infrastructure around the
database environment. There are five components to this
infrastructure, and each is supported by the Berkeley DB
package in two different ways: a standalone utility and one or
more library interfaces.

</ul>
</div>
<p>
When writing multithreaded server applications and/or
applications intended for download from the Web, it is usually
simpler to create local threads that are responsible for
administration of the database environment as scheduling is
often simpler in a single-process model, and only a single
binary need be installed and run. However, the supplied
utilities can be generally useful tools even when the
application is responsible for doing its own administration
because applications rarely offer external interfaces to
database administration. The utilities are required when
programming to a Berkeley DB scripting interface because the
scripting APIs do not always offer interfaces to the
administrative functionality.
